Critical care medicine specialists and an experienced pediatric nursing staff care for patients 24 hours per day in our 27-bed pediatric intensive care unit . With continuous moitoring and observation, our pediatric intensivists react immediately to changes in patients' conditions, making appropriate adjustments in treatment, reducing patient length of stay. Pediatric intensivists and neonatologists direct Children's Mercy Transport, one of the nation's leading specialty transport systems for critically ill pediatric and neonatal patients.
